MathAudio have released Headphone EQ, available for $59.95.
It is known that the frequency response of headphones substantially depends on the shape and size of the listeners’ pinna (outer ear) and inner ear canal. Consequently, it is impossible to make ideal headphones that will fit all people. In particular, the acoustic mismatch between headphones and ear canal creates one or a few unwanted acoustic resonances. These resonances decrease the quality of the sound because they overload your ears on certain frequencies and mask all other frequencies. Additionally, these resonances create a specific ringing which worsen the time-domain response of headphones.
MathAudio Headphone EQ allows you to check your headphones in order to find the unwanted resonances. It also helps you to compensate for the unwanted resonances.
MathAudio Headphone EQ can be used with all types of high-quality headphones and earphones. The correction of the unwanted resonances improves the neutrality of the sound which is important for professional musicians.
Another known problem of headphones lies in the complete separation between channels. The complete separation between channels creates an unnatural super-stereo effect which leads to listener’s fatigue and even headaches. MathAudio Headphone EQ includes a crossfeed algorithm which allows you to reduce the channel separation to a natural level.
Features include:
- Includes a test signal generator.
- Enables one to import numeric values of filter parameters that can be taken from Oratory1990’s list of headphone EQ presets or Jaakko Pasanen’s resource and to optimize them for one’s specific headphones.
- Includes a crossfeed feature which allows the listener to reduce the channel separation to a natural level. The crossfeed makes the headphones less fatiguing to listen to for long periods.
- Supports up to 99 compensating filters.
- Supports individual correction of left and right channels.
- Supports undo/redo operations.
- Applies 64-bit signal path throughout.
- Supports full range of sample rates from 44.1 kHz up to 384 kHz.
- Supports automatic scaling for 4k monitors. Supports manual window resizing (drag the bottom right corner of the window).
Headphone EQ is available to PC and Mac users (VST2, VST3, AU and CLAP).
